Waste Not

Posted on by tahoefence

Waste Not Even though we don't always think about it, Earth is the only home planet we know. Just like we appreciate a clean home without a lot of junk, we feel the same way about our planet. Waste not what can be reused. Tahoe turned some of its fence scraps into covered firewood racks. The firewood comes from Tahoe's wood fence cutoffs. We use the firewood to heat our homes. And now our kids are even using the wood stove heat to bake sourdough bread they make from scratch. Love this place! Happy Earth Day.Waste Not

Home Field Advantage

Posted on by tahoefence

Home Field Advantage There's something special about playing at home. The local fans cheering. And the feeling of familiar surroundings. But how much does a home field advantage help? The Society for American Baseball Research in 2009 collected historical data which showed the home team won about 54% of the time. That's still better than a 50/50 chance. And a win is still a win! Pictured: Ballfield redone by Tahoe's crews with a 26-ft high, Batter's Eye behind center field. The post footings were made with ready-mix concrete and reinforced steel cages. Burgundy slatted wire, which matches the rest of the ballfield fencing, was used for the screening in Dayton (Lyon County.) Home Field Advantage

Our Business Is You

Posted on by tahoefence

Our Business Is You Tahoe Fence is a Better Business Bureau accredited company again this year. And for the most part, it's because of you, our customers. Our business is you. It's Tahoe's 50th year in business. We've built a lot of lasting fences in that time. But we're even prouder of the relationships we've built and maintain. Some relationships have lasted years. While others continue into the next generation. Pictured: Before and after of cedar fence repaired by Tahoe's crews following wind and tree damage in Carson City (2024.)Our Business Is You

Easter + Baseball = Spring

Posted on by tahoefence

Easter + Baseball = Spring It's Easter weekend. And it's the opening weekend for baseball. Regardless of the weather, it's officially Spring. Easter is celebrated on the 1st Sunday, which follows the first full moon, that comes immediately after the spring equinox. And 2024 marks the 148th (1876 to 2024) opening weekend for major league baseball. Tahoe's crews deserve a good weekend celebration after working on refurbishing and replacing several area ballfield projects. These before and after pictures are of some 12-ft high batting cages Tahoe recently redid in Fernley (Lyon County.) Have a happy and healthy Easter (and play ball!)Easter + Baseball = Spring

Dare We Say Spring

Posted on by tahoefence

Dare We Say Spring We've set the clocks forward. Experienced the first near 70-degree days of the year. And it's supposed to snow again this weekend. Dare we say Spring? It seems like another wild and unpredictable month of March. Like the weather, Tahoe's had some wild jobs as well. Our crews just repaired this aluminum, overhead-track slide gate in Fernley (Lyon County.) Our recently installed cantilever gate had an unfortunate run-in with a much bigger vehicle. Even though it took damage, the gate still functioned. And now Tahoe's crews have it looking and working as good as new. A special shout out and thanks to Awaxx Systems for some stout gate operators.Dare We Say Spring

What’s More Irish?

What’s More Irish?

What's More Irish? It's St. Patrick's Day weekend. Which begs the question, what's more Irish? A 3-leaf clover? Or a 4-leaf clover? It's said St. Patrick used a three-leaf clover to explain the Holy Trinity. While a four-leaf clover, is itself considered lucky. Only about 1 in 10,000 plants grow four leaves. At Tahoe, we're leaning 3-leaf. But to be sure, our welding shop in Mound House (Lyon County) made both 3 and 4-leaf clover yard art/decorations. They are created from old, chain link fence fittings. Wally, Tahoe's yard dog, thinks both are equally delicious! Cheers to a happy and healthy St. Patrick's Day.It’s St. Patrick’s Day weekend. Which begs the question, what’s more Irish?

It's International Women's Day. Here's a shout out to all women (our mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, friends) for everything you do. Thank you. And as our mother likes to remind us, "Remember to set your clocks ahead 1-hour this weekend for Daylight Savings Time."

Stout Construction

Posted on by tahoefence

Stout Construction It's been a while since Tahoe's done highway guard rail. The South Lake Tahoe Airport, and Antelope Valley Wellness Center in Coleville, are the most recent that come to mind. But our crews diligently completed the stout construction of this project in Fernley (Lyon County.) The guard rail is to help vehicle traffic, mainly school buses, navigate a curved section of road adjacent to a drainage ditch. Since no angle or radius was detailed in the plans provided, Tahoe was responsible for the design and build of the rail to match the roadway. Our crews did a great job on the construction and fit.Stout Construction

Winding Down the Work Week

Winding Down the Work Week Already the last weekend of February. At the tail end of Winter. And Tahoe's crews are winding down the work week with this ornamental iron fence in Minden (Douglas County.) This black, regal-style iron winds around the meandering sidewalk in front of the new Great Basin Brewing Co. location there.Winding Down the Work Week
